Both ladies are the epitome of the early 2000s, both adorably southern, both around the same age.. But could it be that Jessica Simpson and Britney Spears are actually related?

Okay, obviously they’re not sisters or something, but looking at older photos of the Simpson family is really making us question whether they could somehow be distant relatives?!

Check it out…

Simpson took to Instagram to share this throwback photo of her family on Thursday, and while little Jess actually slightly resembles a younger Brit Brit, her mom is actually the one we mistook for the Princess of Pop!

And the 34-year-old mama of two completely agrees. She captioned the photo: “#TBT When my Mom looked like Britney Spears and my Dad looked like Troy Aikman – this picture makes me :).”
